Lexington Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will have a booth at Lexington's Discovery Day on May 23. Kids and Parents both will have a chance to learn about scouting in Lexington, and find out how to get involved.

Scouts and leaders from Troop 160 will be at the booth to talk about scouting and share their stories.

Each year on the morning of Patriots’ Day we host our legendary Pancake Breakfast. The Troop’s sole fundraiser for the year, the proceeds ensure that all kids can fully participate in Scouts regardless of their ability to pay.

Troop 160 invites everyone to join us for a hearty breakfast at hard-to-beat prices: $7 per adult and $5 per child (under the age of 12). We open immediately after the Battle of Lexington Reenactment on Monday, April 20, 2015 at 5:30am, in Keilty Hall in the basement of St. Brigid Church (newly renovated and now handicapped accessible). We keep serving until 10:00am, so you don't necessarily have to be up before dawn to enjoy a great breakfast infused with the spirit of community for which Lexington is famous.

Our Winter Campout was held at Hidden Valley in the Griswald Scout Reservation in Gilmanton Ironworks, NH, with 18 scouts and 5 adults.

This is the same place we visit for summer camp, but no need for packing bathing suits for this trip…it was snowing upon arrival and throughout the day, making for terrific sledding conditions! After enjoying some nicely made foil-pack dinners cooked by the scouts, everyone turned in for the night with the snow continuing to fall. Sunny weather greeted the Scouts on Sunday morning, and the sled races continued until the minute of departure. The only casualties to report were a few sleds that did not survive the downhill run. Big thanks to Will Leavitt for organizing the trip, and to Ken Anderberg, Bob Atkins, Simon Hsu, and Malay Kundu for helping out as adult volunteers! In all, a great experience, and just a “warm-up” for our next cold-weather adventure in February, the Deep Freeze!!!
